Horizontal Jet Probe Inspection System Installation
Midas-NDT engineers have installed a two channel horizontal jet probe inspection system at Brookhouse Composites in Darwen, England. The system with a scan area of 4,500mm x 1,200mm is designed for the inspection of batches of small flat panels.


The system utilises two channels of the latest midas-ndt ultrasonic instrumentation acquiring data from two sets of jet probes, data being captured and evaluated in the latest midas-ndt Zeus v3 data acquisition and evaluation package.


 
Scaling New Heights
As part of a turn-key operation, the system was installed by Midas-NDT engineers in the original mill building at Darwen and the operation involved transporting the system through a third floor window.

The system, despite dimensions of 7,000mm x 2,000mm and weighing approximately 3000Kg, was lifted with a crane on to a ten metre high scaffolding platform before being carefully manoeuvred through the window and into position.
